I have been teaching almost 12 years. I am a second career teacher after being in the retail business world for 15 years. I have been married for almost 19 years. I have 4 children; Cameron,15, Kendrick, 14, Kolbe 13 and Karah who is 8. I’ve never been a big sports fan, although I enjoy soccer quite a bit. I played in high school and college. I do love Alabama Crimson Tide. (Please forgive me if you are a UT fan -My wife is a big fan so I love them too! )

I love reading and collecting children's books. I am very proud to have an extensive classroom library in both fiction and non fiction texts. It is important to me to foster that love of learning and reading early on.

I am an artist and love to do art in the classroom. As well as having an education degree from Milligan College I also have an Art degree from Winthrop University in S.C. I love to paint, sketch, and create whenever I get the chance. I’m not your typical male teacher at all…very crafty…I know my way around a glue gun!

I also love teaching science…especially about animals, seasons and habitats. I am also a big recycler in the classroom…I save everything and try to reuse what I can for art projects!
